Job Description

This position supports Work Package 1 (WP1) experimental studies of wave overtopping over Singapore-relevant coastal protection structures for local design guidance.

The successful candidate will be required to:

•     Conduct scaled physical model tests at NUS for revetments, promenades, and vertical walls
•     Measure and analyse q, Vmax, flow depth/velocity, crest pressures, and related loads; quantify uncertainty; and derive local   empirical relationships aligned with EurOtop
•     Support WP1 reports/publications and provide validation data and hydraulic inputs to other work packages.

Job Requirements

•    Possess at least a bachelor’s degree in Coastal Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
•    Masters degree will be preferred. 
•    Strong background in physical modelling of coastal/free-surface flows or wave-structure interaction.
•    Experience with hydraulic laboratory experiments, instrumentation, and data analysis.
•    Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or similar; prior wave overtopping/coastal structures experience is advantageous.
•    Has prior strong publication records and independence.
•    Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
•    Open to fixed-term contract.
